Joaquim,Does the file that is being opened exist?Good guess. No the file does not exist but note that we are talking of test program -- "nc_test" -- that ships with the with netcdf package. The line in question has err =3D nc_open("nc_test.o", NC_NOWRITE,&ncid);/* should fail */ If I create a dummy "nc_test.o" file than the tests pass.Yes, this is a non-portable test that should be eliminated or changed. To trigger the error, the test needed the name of a non-netCDF file, and used "nc_test.o" because it existed in the same directory on the Unix systems on which the test was developed. I suspect there is no file that we can assume will exist on all platforms to use in this test, so the test should either create such a file or we should eliminate the test. It's not a particularly important test, so to get past it you could just comment it out. I'll fix it soon: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/NCF-122 Thanks for reporting this. --Russ
Russ,It's no problem that it fails now that we know that it's harmless. I investigated this to find if it had any relation with the crash that I mentioned before. More about it in next mail.
